Purpose is not an add-on, it’s not an initiative. It is a culture change and it never finishes

Ridiculous yachts and private planes and big limousines won’t make people enjoy life more, and it sends out terrible messages to the people who work for them. It would be so much better if that money was spent in Africa – and it’s about getting a balance.

Right now I’m just delighted to be alive and to have had a nice long bath.

So I’ve seen life as one long learning process. And if I see – you know, if I fly on somebody else’s airline and find the experience is not a pleasant one, which it wasn’t in – 21 years ago, then I’d think, well, you know, maybe I can create the kind of airline that I’d like to fly on.

So unlike having to convert, you know, all the cars’ or all the lorries’ petrol stations, once you’ve actually got the clean fuels, it’s relatively easy to, you know, get it to the airplanes.

Taking bold action on climate change simply makes good business sense. It’s also the right thing to do for people and the planet. Setting a net-zero GHG emissions target by 2050 will drive innovation, grow jobs, build prosperity, and secure a better world for what will soon be 9 billion people.

Taking bold climate action now has the potential to unleash the full power of business and at the same time lift millions of people out of poverty. We’re the first generation to recognize this and the last generation that will have this opportunity.

The companies that look after their people are the companies that do really well. I’m sure we’d like a few other attributes, but that would be the most important one.

The Earth cannot wait 60 years. I want a future for my children and my children’s children. The clock is ticking.
